The Bancroft Connaux

An Examiner reporter has interviewed
ID. IL. Bancroft, the historian, concerning
his rumored resignation from the History
Company, when Mr. Bancroft said:
So far from my retiring from the COM
pany," said he. Il am only entering it.
For the past twenty years my efforts have
been directed almost exclusively to histori-
cal matters, and it is in commemoration of
that period now closed that the imposing
structure on Market street has been erected
and called the History Building the pile
pelng intended as sort of monument.
Alter this lapse OF twenty years / have re-
turned to the old business established by
ii. ii. Bancroft II Co. in 1856 With me
are associated n. j. Stone, w. B. Bancroft,

ticles of incorporation will soon be issued
under the name of the Bancroft Company,
which will include the establishments of
W. b: Bancroft & Co. and A. L. Bancroft 4
co. We expect to move into the new
building next week. 1t will be our princi-
pal place of business, the printing office
and mandatory being. in the Donahue
building on First street.
When the Market street house was de-
stroyed by fire last year. many of our
friends deplored the fact that there was not
a first-class bookstore in the city. This
was true, but the compliment implied was
not true. There has never been an estab-
lishment of the kind VIII ose resources were
at all commensurate with the requirements
of city of the size and importance of
San Francisco, and l regret to say that we
never reached realizing sense of the fact
till after the fire. We now enter upon the
task of producing an establishment which
shall be credit to the city, and one which
in point of efficiency and popularity shall
be second TO none in the United States
We shall strive to make it an attractive
rendezvous for all lovers of books, and
believe our efforts will be appreciated

Clara Barton's History.

correspondent of the RECORD L MON
desiring to know, " Who is Clara Barton ?'
the following account of this patriotic
lady, given in the New York Letter, will
answer the inquiry:
Miss Clara Barton, of Red Cross fame,
who was made an honorary member of
the Womans Relief Corps at the fourth
National Convention, during the Grand
Army Encampment in San Francisco in
August, is a Massachusetts woman, a
daughter of one of Mad Anthony
Waynes old soldiers. They say that
she organized the first public school ever
started in Bordentown, n. j., and she was
copyist in the Patent Office at Washington
for some years before the war. The first
gun of the civil war brought her to the
front, and in the work of the Sanitary
commission none was more devoted in
the field. She spent the last cent she
possessed in organizing bureau of records
OF missing men OF the armies and so Use
tul did 1t prove that Congress voted her
GOO for services to the Government.

whose ensign waves over America, Europe
and the best part of Aria, she is the only

ascribed to her sex, She has few EQUALS in

her to rout in the management of details.

as slender and 1.-THE as young girl.

Gotham's Many-Sided Celebration of the
Glorious Fourth.


New YORK, July 4th.-The day here was
oppressively hot, the thermometer dancing
up among the nineties. Business was en-
tirely suspended. There were several yacht
races, the best being the regatta of
the Larchlnont Club, on the
Sound, in which no less than
forty-eight vessels took part. The chief
interest centered in the contest between the
Shamrock and Titania, the latter winning
by two and one-half minutes.
The United Labor party held thinly-
attended celebration OF the day at the
Academy of Music, at which John Nc
Mackin and others delivered speeches.
The Veterans of 1912 celebrated the day
by raising the flag on the old fort in Cen
trail Park, and reunion and dinner.
There are only three of the Veterans liv-
ing in this vicinity. They are General
Abram Daily, aged 81 years George Brig
ger, aged 80; and Penny Morris, aged SO.
Tammany Hall, in its Wigwam, held its
ninety ninth celebration of the day. Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, was down
on the programme for the first " long talk. !"
He was received with an spplause that
shook the building, and he had only began
his speech with the words, Away down in
old Virginia, where l lived" when he was
interrupted by call for three cheers for
virginia, which were heartily given.
" Virginia to-day" he said, " clasps ffands

a " STEM WISDER'' ON THE STATE TFxr-
Books QUEsTIoS.-The San Francisco
Chronicle denounces the publication of
State textbooks in a late issue, alleging
that the publication really costs nearly

to continue their publication by the State.

books already issued, whereas the plates
now made will last for years, and the cost

the entire period in order to make fair
computation. There is no reason why the
State Printing Office should not be able to
publish the text books almost if not quite
as cheapiy as private printing establish

textbook firms have made enormous prof-
Its in the past. The Chronicle is paper

Nor all high reputation brings wholly
good in its tram. The fame of California
for its citrus fruits and its grapes, has led
unscrupulous persons at the East to palm
off upon too-confding public villainous
beverages purporting to emanate from Cal
ifornia, and to be products of orange and of
grape The counterfeiting of California
wines has been long in progress at the
East, and has been winked at by Eastern
wine-dealers, who would manifest COM
bative indignation if denominated thieves.
But when they permit false wines to be
engineered upon the Eastern public as
genuine California products, they become
parties to deliberate thievery. If the
assertions of the New York press are to be
believed, many of them do this very thing,
having the power to warn the public and
to punish the counterfeiters. California
will continue to suffer, probably, from
these impositions, and must expect little
or no aid from the wine-dealers until home
latest outrage upon the California name is
the sale in large quantities al the East of
a concoction called California orange cider
beverage not known to commerce in CAL
ifornia-at least, if known, not in favor,
even if genuine. The Eastern swindle, we
are assured is yillainous compound of
raw acids, sugar and favoring extracts that
must prove injurious to the consumer.
1t is simply incomprehensible how
the trade i'll this swindle could have
grown to the proportions alleged, without
the connivance of the Eastern merchants.
If they did not know that the public was
being cheated by Yankee device, their
ignorance of what is going on in the
world is of a character to amaze average
intelligence. The truth is, that wine and
liquor dealers at the East are at the bot
tom of these swindles. The saving of the
reputation of the State for drink products
will be best achieved by the establishment
OF California agencies at the East, owned
and controlled by the California producers.
Until they do as the fruit dealers have
done and take the business of the disposal
of their products into their own hands, and
organize detective protective bureaus, they
must expect to continue to be victims of
gross imposition.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD EXTENSION. A
piece OF railway development, which gives
promise of cutting an important figure in
Pacific Coast raiiroading. is the extension
OF the Southern Pacific west throu yh the
San Fernando valley from the town OF
Burbank, new place recently laid out on
the railroad line above Newhall. Right
of way was procured for this line some
time ago through lands of J. B. Lankershim
and the Pfovidencis ranch. This will
carry the road 10 the foot Of the mountains
on the other side. From there it will be
an easy matter to build over the Santa
Susanna mountains and down through the
Sami and Los Rosas to a junction with the
Newhall branch at or near Awning in the
Santa Clara valley. 1t is the intention of
The company to build a bridge across the
river at that point to carry the line to
Hueneme, and this bridge can be used by
the line from Burbank. When completed
this road will probably be used as the sbor.
line from San Francisco TO Santa Barbara
and Los Angeles.-.S. r. Examiner.
